Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Montreal Impact for the transfer of midfielder Victor Wanyama. The Kenyan midfielder joined Spurs from Southampton in the summer of 2016. He's made 97 appearances in all competitions.

After making over 45 appearances in his first season at Spurs, Wanyama struggled massively the following season with a recurring knee injury. Despite enjoying a bit-part role at the club, he eventually lost his position to the young players. This season, Wanyama played just 24 minutes in the Premier League, making four appearances in all competitions. 

The Kenyan was close to leaving the club in August 2019, with Club Brugge named as one of the interested parties.
